icy corner this morning sent me into a tree, idk if its fixable and how i would go about fixing it? the rad is pushed back into the clutch cylinder and trans, the trans front torque mount is ripped off the trans, and it looks like the front of the shock tower by the intake is pushed back and cracked, rad support is clearly bent in and down. just wondering how i could go about fixing this or if i need to part with this shell?

Looks fixable but,expensive and extensive. Probably cheaper and less timely to get a new shell.good luck with it.

It's going to need to go on a frame rack. It's not going to be cheap to fix this.

yeah i wouldn't even bother fixing it bro in all honesty get a new shell and call it a day swap everything from urs 300 vs 2000+ dollars on repairs

eg/ej cars around me go for 500 running...
Id look for a shell, or maybe one that had mechanical problems. Id say from your pics your in the rust belt...

Its easier to cut out / weld in to fix rust then it is to repair yours...

yea that doesn't look pretty.. it might have to go on the frame machine.. i worked at a body shop and just to hook up to the machine was 1k.. so your looking to do about $1500 -$2000 with all your parts...and it will never be perfect again.. your bay will always have that crinkle to it... get a shell ... good luck buddy..

a friend of mine is telling me to weld a new front end on at the firewall.. is that legit?

It's legit in most states but the VIN won't match

but thats probably the same if not more cost wise to fix the damage on a frame machine

and a hell of a lot more difficult than just pulling the motor/tranny and dropping it in a new shell of the same model year.

Ouch, I would just buy a different shell with as little on it as possible and just swap everything over from your car if I was you. Pretty much any damage past the front radiator support is going to be pretty expensive and time consuming to fix. You will definitely need to take it to a shop to get it fixed, unless you're a damn good welder. Sorry to hear about your eg, and good luck.

Get a clean shell and part out or keep it as a part car

total loss. frame pulling will cost you as much as a shell.
